Without qualification, Guido van Rossum (author of
Python). Note that Guido answers to English
/gwee´do/ but in Dutch it's
/khwee´do/. Mythically,
Guido's most important attribute besides Python itself is Guido's time
machine, a device he is reputed to possess because of the unnerving
frequency with which user requests for new features have been met with the
response “I just implemented that last night...”. See
BDFL.
